Unit 3- Renal Flashcards
(110 cards)
Structural Units of Kidney
Renal corpuscle of glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule, tubules, interstitium, and vasculature
Glomerular Filtration Barrier
Filter plasma, formed by endothelial cells, basement membrane, and podocytes
Requirements of Renal Function
Adequate perfusion, renal tissue, and elimination of urine
Renal Disease Progression
Affects multiple components of the kidney, leading to CRF and end stage kidneys
Outcome of Renal Disease
Imbalance of salt and water, acids and base, and retention of waste
Index of Kidney Failure
Retention of urea or creatinine
Uremia
Failure to excrete metabolic waste
Edema
Failure to maintain normal concentrations of salt and water
Acidosis
Failure to regulate acid base balance
Hormone Imbalance
Failure to produce erythropoietin, renin, and postaglandins leading to anemia, hypertension, and ischemic necrosis
Hypercalcemia
Failure to activate vitamin D
Acute vs Chronic Failure
75% or more function impairement
Prerenal Acute Failure
Transient hypoperfusion
Postrenal Acute Failure
Obstruction of urinary tract
Renal Acute Failure
Acute glomerulonephritis, acute interstitial nephritis, acute tubular necrosis
Acute Tubular Necrosis
Caused by nephrotoxins or ischemia, causes oliguria and anuria, pallor
Death by Acute Failure
Increase in serum K causes cardiotoxicity, metabolic acidosis, and pulmonary edema
Chronic Renal Failure
Loss of nephrons and scarring, PU/PD, alteration in calcium/phosphorus metabolism, nonregenerative anemia, increase in PTH secretion, and fibrous osteodystrophy and soft tissue calcification
CKD Histology
Mononuclear inflammation, interstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy and loss, glomerulosclerosis, thickened Bowman’s capsule, and tubular and glomerular ectasia
Azotemia
Elevation of blood urea or creatinine without renal disease
Uremia
Urine in blood, clinical syndrome of renal failure, extrarenal lesions
Uremic Gastropathy
Dog and cat, ulcer and hemorrhage secondary to vasculitis, mucosal calcification secondary to Ca/P metabolism
Uremic Colitis
Horse and cattle, ulcers and hemorrhage secondary to vasculitis
Soft Tissue Mineralization
Altered calcium/phosphorus metabolism, occurs in parietal pleura, intercostals, larynx, and nephrocalcinosis
